Very nice indeed...May YOU All have a Thanksgiving that is meaningful with those near and dear to your hearts and those who are with us spiritually...

[Spring2025]

🤕  ANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS?

[1] Jonibee @jonibee , you probably have some for your Acid Reflux and so on.

[2] Cadee @Cadee2719 , I need to go find your post but my old brain seems to remember the 26th for you.

[3] Lisa @LisaJP6763 , I would think follow ups for your Back Surgery and the PT you mentioned.

*** MC @mc6844 , Julie @JulieT507376 and Marcy @MarcyW882921 ? ***

[4] Me, 1st MEDICARE Bone Dentisty Test on Wednesday.

[jonibee]

I had two xrays of chest and abdomen will find out results hopefully on Tuesday on visit to PM..The Cardiologist feels that a referral to Gastreologist is next...On scripts for indigestion and queasiness...It's still here with me and I don't have a gall bladder as that was removed years ago...Very uncomfortable especially at night as you just can't seem to get comfortable..Elevate head place pillow behind back as I'm a side sleeper..During the day it's isn't as noticeable as distracted by other things ..I feel over tired from lack of sleep due to constant wakening up at night..Hopefully this will demenish or a solution will eventually present itself once the cause is known. Thank You for inquiring as to my current health situation....

👋  GOOD Morning All!!!

A stay home day for me = NO driving.  🙃🙃🙃

SO GLAD to be able to look out at my old lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra) parked outside. Those two nights of her being away at her second home of late (mechanic  🙄),  was so depressing. Lol, need my wheels.

In the 30's here, so Mister  🐈  will have to WAIT for this old lady to feel like dealing with the COLD. Have tape on my Studio Apartment door on one side as it lets in COLD AIR, brrr. Got to remove it to let in my boss  🙄🙄🙄  for his breakfast.

He is very lucky I got my car back as it is time to do my Monthly Walmart Cat Food Aisle trip.

Looking forward to chatting with whomever happens to be also getting Cat Food. Never the same Cat Parent and always a funny story about their furbaby. And of course pictures.  👍

SURVIVE today in YOUR way.  🤗🤗🤗

[mc6844]

Nicole I'm glad you got your car from the mechanic. I know what that's like. 

[Spring2025]

🎂  MC @mc6844 , you have a birthday THIS SUNDAY - any plans?

🦃  Any Thanksgiving Day plans?

Luv,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗  (Grief Forum)

[mc6844]

Yes Nicole plans and visits.  Plans aren't rigid due to how I'm navigating each day. Lol  That's the way it goes. How are you with the holidays Nicole? 

[Spring2025]

This cat is a trip!!!  🙄🙄🙄

I literally RAN TO AND FROM my mailbox just now (I was GONE about 2 minutes) after locking him INSIDE rather than WAKE his spolit a.s up. Yes, put him back OUTSIDE before I left.

As soon as I OPEN my door (back from mailbox), out FLIES Mister, tail SWISHING = how dare you!!!

Lol, my boy.  🤗🤗🤗

[mc6844]

Lol he sounds like a character 

[Spring2025]

🙏  Guys, please keep Lisa's @LisaJP6763 husband in your thoughts.

Unless he gets RESCHEDULED AGAIN  😤😤😤,  Shoulder Surgery should be TOMORROW.

Thanks,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗  (Grief Forum)

[Spring2025]

🙏  Guys, please keep Cadee's @Cadee2719 son in your thoughts.

Our dear friend is already dealing with those old lady's health issues herself, now son has pneumonia.  😭😭😭

WE LUV YOU CADEE!!!  🤗🤗🤗

[mc6844]

Oh no. Prayers for both 

[Spring2025]

📸  Attachment  📸  1:14pm ET I am home with my old lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra).

Faulty battery. NEW battery and NEW alternator for free.

Nicole  🙃🙃🙃

[mc6844]

That guy is like the people who are always in back of me on the road. There's a corner where I can turn right on red light. I never do. It's too busy and risky. So I turn right when the light turns green. I get blasted with a horn in back of me. Never fails. 

[mc6844]

Lol. 

[JulieT507376]

Nicole,

Thank goodness you have your car back.  Did you make it to the pharmacy?  Top on your list for sure!! 
Julie❤️

[Spring2025]

Anyone else having SNOW besides Julie @JulieT507376 who is snowed in (winter storm)?

GOOD DAY to stick close to a FIRE, sip HOT CHOCOLATE.

Me here in Virginia - SUNNY with no wind, just BEAUTIFUL fall colors.

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[JulieT507376]

No end in sight for the snow fall! 

[Spring2025]

I luv that picture Julie @JulieT507376 !!!

Do you have GENERATORS?

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

Not yet.  I’ve been trying to get an electrician to work with me all summer.  They are so busy and can’t seem to make time for me.  Very frustrating. It will be a challenge if I loose power for more than a hour or so. 

[Spring2025]

🦃  Cadee @Cadee2719 , any plans for Thanksgiving this year? 🤗🤗🤗

[Cadee2719]

  Morning   Have been under the weather the last few days.  I was planning on spending Thanksgiving with my son but found out yesterday he has pneumonia!  We are expecting rain/snow today but they have been saying that for the last two days.   What are your plans for Thanksgiving Nicole?  Is your daughter back from her trip?  Take care, stay warm and safe.

[jonibee]

No only my daughter and I will be celebrating it together as the other adult children have their own plans..In years gone by they all use to come here but it's just too much work now a days...I found out that I have a  UTi which seems to be a common age problem so I'm on meds for that..Tomorrow I go for xrays on afdomen and back upper..I went to see Cardio and was told heart breathing is good so don't have to go back for 6 mos..He is referring me to a gastriologist as he feels that what is bothering me has to do with gastro-intestinal problems ..I don't have a gall bladder so this will be interesting to find out what the heck is going on within my body..I trust his opinion...So it takes a lot  out of me and with the ongoing pain I was wiped out  physically and mentally..But I did manage to change the prescription coverage to Wellcare which seems to be the best one for me..I was so proud of myself for looking into it and comparing quotes and coverage via phone call and on my computer manage to make the transition without any outside help...Even at age 82 this gal still knows how to function...Ha

[Spring2025]

9:21am ET My car will not start - waiting on AAA to assign a driver. 😭😭😭

[mc6844]

Sorry about your car and hope you can keep it going Nicole. It will be ok 

[Spring2025]

🚗🚘  Lol, car back in mechanic shop. Anyway, took bus to Kroger (where I was headed this morning) from mechanic. This time they had me have AAA TOW her in, NOT start her to see what is DRAINING new battery. Now you understand why I only drive Mondays thru Thursday = when mechanic is open./lol  🤣😂

Anyway, have my LAST Blood Pressure pill THIS WEDNESDAY and when I had planned on stopping by CVS.

Bus does NOT go that way, so my daughter will have to Uber me the whole way and back.

Glad I got my OLD LADY bus ID the last time car was in shop. Saves on uber cost. But none go up my hill from Kroger.

Anyway, they are keeping her.

Can I have my meltdown now???  🤗🤗🤗

[JulieT507376]

Nicole,

I’m so sorry about your car!  So terrible to have car problems.  I hope your mechanic can fix it and make it dependable for you.  We ladies can’t be breaking down out there.  Not like we have a guy at home to call.  Tomorrow will be a better day.  
Julie❤️

THOSE ANNIVERSARIES!!!  😭😭😭

I know our Julie @JulieT507376 has her 1st anniversary on December 4th. Losing YOUR Mark was "unexpected" and SO UNFAIR dear friend

What has HELPED me so far is HONORING them with living MY NEW LIFE the way they lived THEIRS.

I have NOT been "close" to alot of people as I AGE and "distance" myself from family drama - but my Mamamae (maternal grandmother) is ALWAYS with me.  🤗🤗🤗

As a teenager, I MARVELED at how she lived AFTER Grandpops died in his sleep after walking home from his business. Buses were on strike and he refused one of his son's offer to come get him. This was in Kingston, Jamaica West Indies. A very long and dangerous walk for a man in his late 80's.

Anyway, he died doing what he luved (his Catering School) and Mamamae joined him at age 104.

NOT ONCE did she show her sadness, kept busy and luved me as usual. She KNEW I still needed her unconditional luv I NEVER got from my dysfunctional parents (alcoholic father who beat her, she refused to leave him).

So NOW I am TRYING to live like Mamamae did. Being there for my only child, a daughter.

Julie, I AM SO SORRY for your loss dear friend.

Luv,

Nicole  🤗🤗👋  (Grief Forum)
